Reclaimed Fire Hose Accessories by Elvis & Kresse

These reclaimed accessories are on fire! No really — okay maybe not literally, but in their former life they helped put them out. Genius designers Elvis & Kresse acquired tons of decades-old fire hoses from the London Fire Brigade. Find out what they turned them into, and what other awesome reclaimed materials they use, after the jump.

From the designers:

Although we started in London, Elvis & Kresse now collect hose across the UK and in order to thank Britain's Brigades, 50% of our profits go back to the Fire Fighters Charity. We scrub away all the soot, grease, and everything else that builds up after 25 years of active duty, and in the process reveal a truly remarkable, truly green textile.
